In the EU alone, the express industry directly employs 272,000 people but supports 579,000 jobs in total across the EU. It delivers more than 450 million packages each year, constituting almost half of the intra-European air cargo market. It has been forecast that, by 2020, the express industry will directly employ 300,000 people in the EU.
The EEA provides the express industry with a voice at both European and national levels to promote and protect the industry’s interests and objectives in line with the needs of their customers. The EEA consists of three committees, which cover: Trade Facilitation & Customs, Transport & Environment and Security.
The secretariat for the European Express Association is provided by FleishmanHillard, an external communications consultancy.Main EU files targeted
